At this moment of deep antagonism towards the banking industry, The Bank Heist Proposal Contest revisits the romantic representation of bank robbers in relation to current economic and social crises, by inviting the public to develop proposals for imaginary bank robberies.

Join us this Friday, March 1, 2013, when bank heist proposals will be displayed in the gallery and judged live by a jury of experts based on conceptual vision, presentation, feasibility, and creativity. After each entry is summarized and discussed by the jurors, five finalists will be chosen, and one winner will be awarded $1,000 at the end of the night.

The jury includes Dale Seago, a security management professional with over 25 years' experience in military and private sector security programs, including several years in the security department of Wells Fargo Bank, author and former bank robber Joe Loya, as well as representatives from the Center for Tactical Magic and Southern Exposure.
